Where to stay in London
Soho, centered on Old Compton Street, is London's main gay neighborhood and puts you close to West End theatres. Vauxhall, south of the river, is where the late-night clubs are. Summer is the liveliest season, especially around Pride in London.
The Z Hotel Soho
Soho
Small, smartly designed rooms (some with no window) at some of the lowest prices in central London, a few minutes' walk from Old Compton Street. It's a good choice if you'll spend little time in your room and want to walk home from the bars.
